This silver medal, created by Nicolaas van Swinderen in 1738, commemorates 25 years of peace in the Netherlands. The obverse depicts a symbolic scene of peace, featuring a woman holding a scepter and a laurel branch, representing the Republic, and an angel flying above, symbolizing peace. The reverse features a display of coats of arms, representing the seven provinces of the Netherlands. This small but significant work exemplifies the commemorative medal's historical importance and artistic value.
